High-quality and practical arrangement of the kitchen in the Khrushchev with its 6 squares and low ceilings is not an easy task, but still possible if you know what to do. In this article, you will be offered solutions for expanding the room, choosing the right furniture and decorating a small kitchen.
In order to accommodate everything you need in a small kitchen without depriving it of the decorative component, you need to carefully consider the arrangement of furniture
Kitchen remodeling
The most effective, but at the same time, radical option for arranging a small kitchen is redevelopment. You can resort to one of the three indicated methods.
- Demolition of the partition. If the layout of the apartment allows, you can expand the small kitchen with your own hands by demolishing the partition between it and the hall. As a result, you get an elegant studio and additional centimeters of space in addition to it. In this case, the entire working area can be placed along the window opening and walls, and the dining set can be moved into the room.
Efforts spent on redevelopment - the price of a spacious kitchen
- Combining with a balcony. If the kitchen is adjacent to the balcony, it would be logical to combine them. Thus, you will get a full working area and a small dining room on the territory of the balcony. Such a redevelopment, of course, implies its insulation.
Before combining a kitchen with a balcony, it must be insulated
- Construction of an arch. If you don't have a balcony, and it is not possible to destroy the wall between the kitchen and the living room, you can use another method. Replace the door leading to the kitchen with a spacious arch, widening the doorway slightly. Make sure that the interior of both combined rooms is decorated in the same style.
A spacious arch instead of a standard door will add extra centimeters. But take care of a quality hood
Someone, for the sake of extra centimeters, is inclined to move the wall in the bathroom. I do not recommend such a solution, since in the Khrushchevs the bathroom does not differ in a spacious square, and it will become even smaller from such a redevelopment.
Features of the choice and arrangement of furniture
If the redevelopment did not work out, it is more difficult to carry out the design of the kitchen in the Khrushchev building of 6 sq m, but still real. This section provides an example of some of the features of setting up a small room that can effectively use the available space.
Kitchen in Khrushchev 6 sq. can be equipped with three layout options: linear, U-shaped and angular
Determining the placement
One of the most important questions in the kitchen renovation process is how to arrange furniture as efficiently as possible? Despite the fact that the area of 6 squares cannot be called spacious, there are still several options for the layout of the kitchen set:
- Linear. Suitable for rectangular or elongated kitchens. In this case, the headset is placed along the wall with the main communications.
Linear layout is a good option for elongated kitchens
- P–figurative. An option for those who want to squeeze the most out of the available centimeters of space. In this case, the dining table is most often transferred to the living room.
U-shaped arrangement of the headset (as in the photo) implies the use of a window sill
- Corner. Represents something in between the previous options. The L-shaped set is installed along the longest wall with communications.
Corner layout is perhaps one of the most practical options for a small room.
What furniture to choose
Set and dining furniture are the most important components of the interior of one of the most comfortable places in the house. To make the interior of the kitchen in Khrushchev's 6 sq m functional and practical, follow these recommendations.
For arranging a small room, it is better to choose a headset made of natural materials
- Maximum working surfaces. To make cooking as comfortable as possible, try to create as many useful work surfaces as possible. Turning a narrow and impractical window sill into an extra cooking area or small breakfast table is a great solution.
The more work surfaces in the kitchen, the more functional the available space
If possible, use the windowsill as an additional work surface or table
- Replacing the dining table. If possible, it is better to move the dining set into the living room, freeing up more space for the kitchen. If the square in the room is also not impressive in scale, use a folding structure or a more compact bar in the kitchen instead of a dimensional table.
- Multifunctionality of furniture. Transforming furniture that can change its purpose depending on your desire is the best idea for a Khrushchev kitchen. You can buy, for example, a folding table, a pull-out work surface, a wardrobe that hides folding chairs, etc.
Transforming furniture does not take up much space, which is very important in Khrushchev kitchens
- Extended cabinets. When choosing the top headset cabinets, it is better to give preference to elongated models up to the ceiling. They will not only add a few centimeters of usable space, but also hide unpleasant ventilation pipes.
To make the most of your space, buy elongated top cabinets, they are quite roomy
Appliances
If placed incorrectly, household appliances can significantly spoil the design of the kitchen in the Khrushchev 6 squares. To avoid this, listen to the recommendations that the instructions below offer.
Choose compact built-in appliances that can be hidden behind headset facades
- Use built-in technique. It is much more compact and does not stand out from the general interior concept.
- Avoid complex shapes. Complex structures in a small kitchen not only eat up space, but also look ridiculous. Choose the technique of simple, laconic forms.
- Use a hob. Instead of a stationary stove, use a hob under which you can easily place a dishwasher or washing machine. If you cannot imagine your life without an oven, it can be built into the cabinet, or hung on brackets.
Both household appliances and the headset itself in a small kitchen should be simple and concise.
If you cannot successfully fit the refrigerator into the interior, you can take it out into the corridor, or onto the insulated balcony
Decorative component
When developing the interior of a kitchen of 6 sq m in Khrushchev, you need to pay special attention to decorative elements and colors of the room. A large set of unnecessary accessories "clutters up" the space and visually makes it less comfortable. To make the kitchen look beautiful and elegant, you need to use the following techniques:
- Use light colors. Light shades visually expand the space. For a kitchen with windows on the north side of the color, use warm colors, for the south side, you can use cold colors.
Light colors are one of the main tools for the visual expansion of space
- Use glass surfaces. They not only visually enlarge the space, but also make it more festive.
A set of warm shades will help to revive the decor of the kitchen, the windows of which face north
- Buy lightweight curtains. Instead of massive curtains that eat up space, resort to using lightweight roman or roller blinds.
Roller blinds do not take up much space, which is very important in tight spaces
- Make an apron accent. So that the interior in pastel tones does not seem too boring to you, you can add a bright spot in the form of an apron to the decor. You can purchase a mosaic, glass or panel model with a pattern of your choice.
A bright apron of the working area can act as an interesting accent in a bright kitchen.
